Love both but the 116610LV wins in my book. The dial, case, clasp and bezel are all upgrades for me. Wouldn't change a thing.

Like the green and the glidelock of the Hulk better so he wins...barely. The 5 digit subs are just pure class though. It was a tough choice

I love all Subs!! But given this is a specific poll, for me the Sunburst dial and the glidelock clasp make this a very easy decision!! LVC!

I prefer the 116610 LV. I like the updated case, glidelock clasp, sunburst dial.

Interesting that there is Japanese writing on there as well.


$11,000 won't be so crazy in a year or two for a 16610LV. Not in Asia anyway. Original LV for me. I never really warmed up to the ceramic.

I own both. A couple years ago I would have voted Kermit. But now I mostly wear the Hulk. Don't have to worry about the bezel scratching or the bracelet getting stretched out. So I guess my wrist votes Hulk!

I had the 116610LV and didn't like the new case, so I traded for the 16610LV and have no regrets.

How can you really compare these 2 watches fairly? The ONLY thing they both have in common is a green bezel insert. Other than that, 2 completely different watches with very little in common. I happen to own a Hulk and personally love it.
